I'm still really conflicted about this series but I really enjoyed seeing this side of the story, especially the parts that deal with the ending to the first book. At the end of the first book it was difficult to understand why Tony turned on Claire when he did and this book makes it easier to u...
Again... I loved going inside Tony's head.I am so glad I get to read his POV.Tony's is a very mysterious character. A lot of the good and bad things he does throughout the books are always questionable.I wondered a lot of if he was being sincere, or if he was acting.I was always put on edge by ...

“You don’t know your hard limits?” I shook my head. “I-I’ve been very focused on school. I told you I just graduated. I really haven’t…” I lowered my chin. It wasn’t that I was a virgin. I wasn’t. But everything in my life as Alex had been sweet and overtly planned. Limits weren’t an issue. If I ...

I hadn’t known what to expect at service, and it’d been all right, some parts even nice. With both Elizabeth and Raquel helping me, I’d made it through.
